Welcome to the True Chicago Sports Fans Podcast…BIG-Z and the boys got a LOT to talk about today!”Tonight on the True Chicago Sports Fans Podcast, we carry heavy hearts into one of the biggest episodes we’ve ever recorded. We open with a full, emotional tribute to Chicago Bulls legend and beloved broadcaster Stacey King, who passed away Sunday at just 59 years old after a fall at his home. We break down what he meant as a player on three championship teams alongside Michael Jordan, and celebrate his 20-year broadcasting career — his iconic catchphrases, his legendary calls, and why he belongs in the same conversation as Harry Caray, Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, Pat Foley & Eddie Olczyk, and Jeff Joniak & Tom Thayer. Then we get into the Cubs, the White Sox, and the Bears news that is shaking the entire city of Chicago to its core.💔 SEGMENT 1 — R.I.P. STACEY KINGThe Chicago Bulls announced Sunday that three-time NBA Champion and Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Stacey King has died at 59. We deliver a full emotional monologue on Stacey’s life, legacy, and the enormous hole he leaves behind. “Gimme the hot sauce.” “Drive home safely, Chicago — beep beep.” “Mouse in the house, free cheese!” “Jimmy G. Buckets.” We break it all down and say goodbye the right way.⚾ SEGMENT 2 — CHICAGO CUBS DISASTER VS. GIANTSThe Cubs just dropped 2 of 3 to the San Francisco Giants and have now lost 20 of their last 27 games. We recap all three games including the 18-3 destruction on Friday. We break down stats for Alex Bregman (2-for-24 in his last stretch, .243 AVG), Pete Crow-Armstrong (2 HRs Saturday, 11-game hit streak, the one bright light), and Ian Happ (4 hits in last 37 ABs). Then Jameson Taillon exits Sunday’s game with a strained left hamstring in the 2nd inning — headed to the IL with a 5.13 ERA. ⚾ SEGMENT 3 — CHICAGO WHITE SOX: FOR REAL?The White Sox split their series with the Phillies and head home for the biggest test of their surprising 2026 season. We break down all three games, spotlight Colson Montgomery (16 HRs, elite wOBA), Jacob Gonzalez’s first MLB homer (428 feet, just his 6th game), Tristan Peters, Chase Meidroth, and the continued dominance of Davis Martin (8-2, 2.00 ERA, Cy Young candidate). We identify realistic trade deadline targets that could push this team to October and preview back-to-back home series against the Braves and Dodgers — the two best teams in baseball. Is this White Sox team for real? We’re about to find out.🏈 SEGMENT 4 — CHICAGO BEARS TO HAMMOND, INDIANA?On June 5th, the Chicago Bears Board of Directors voted to advance their stadium project in Hammond, Indiana — the biggest move toward leaving Illinois yet. Indiana approved $1 BILLION in incentives. Illinois lawmakers failed — again — to pass stadium financing before adjourning their spring session. Who is to blame? What happens to Soldier Field? And does Caleb Williams make any of this easier to stomach?🔔 SUBSCRIBE for weekly Chicago sports coverage — Bears, Cubs, White Sox, Bulls & Blackhawks every week.👍 LIKE this video if you grew up watching Stacey King make the Bulls worth watching.💬 COMMENT your favorite Stacey King call below.
